Getting to Manhatan



Whichever airport your NY journey starts in, you'll have plenty of ways to get to Manhattan - without having any trouble fetching a convenient ways of transport once you land. Meaning: don't go down the lane of 'over-control' and arrange a private car to take you from the airport to your hotel - you'll only end up paying some quatro-price of everyone else who'll show up on the island one way or the other at most half an hour later than you.

You run into Manhattan buses the moment you step outside the airport. Just take that bus (~ 15$ from JFK) and try holding your breath till you reach Midtown. If you've arrived at some rush hour or on a Sunday evening, expect getting into some serious traffıc. Unless you take the 'Airtrain' (doesn't seem like it takes you to Manhattan) or fetch yourself your private helicopter; you are unlikely to by-pass that trafiic jam anyway. Take the cab after you get all the way to Times Square or Grand Central station. If your hotel is in these whereabouts, and if you are not traveling w/ some enormous baggage, you might even be able to get to your room on foot! Of course, cabs are always ready to take you to Manhattan from the airport too. Why wouldn't they be? JFK cab drivers literally drool over the 60$ you'll have to pay them (after taxes & tip) for that ride!
